Anthoscopus rothschildi Neumann

Anthoscopus rothschildi Neumann, 1907a: 597 (Simba) .

Now Anthoscopus caroli sylviella Reichenow, 1904 . See Fry et al., 2000: 112–115, and Madge, 2008: 72–73.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 683335 , female, collected at Simba , 3350 ft, 02.09S, 37.36E ( Polhill, 1988), Kenya, on 18 January 1906, by C.F. Camburn (no. 55). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neumann had the single specimen. The name of the collector, indicated on the original label as ‘‘C.F.C.,’’ has been transcribed erroneously onto the Rothschild type label as ‘‘F.C. Coburn.’’ The original label is printed ‘‘Collection Maurice de Rothschild.’’ J.P. Chapin’s collector’s cards in the archives of the Department of Ornithology note that Camburn collected in Congo (Kinshasa) in 1906, but under whose auspices is not mentioned. Maurice de Rothschild’s expedition to Africa was earlier, 1904–1905, but he apparently purchased specimens collected later by Camburn.
